Be fair! Knowledge is not 1-dimensional. There are many
kinds of knowledge, many kinds of skills. It's no more
necessary for a poultry farmer to lay an egg than it is for
a technical recruiter to optomize recursive decent parsers.
Of course the farmer needs to know *about* eggs and the
recruiter needs to know *about* software. The important
point is that the farmer or recruiter be able to work with
the other members of the team to produce the desired result.
It's a symbiotic, complementary relationship. Developer
skills should complement recruiter skills. If they're
identical, one of them is redundant (and probably
unnecessary unless it's a fault-tolerant system).
